    ​Injury Update: Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes

    Chris Woakes
    England and Warwickshire all-rounder Chris Woakes’ right quad tear, which he sustained at Emerald Headingley in the second Test against Pakistan earlier this month, was at least in part due to a flare-up of a chronic right knee problem. He has had an injection for the knee issue last Monday and will now undertake a rehabilitation and conditioning programme to address both injuries.
